This was a tasty, easy granola. I would add more almonds and pecans the next time I make it.

This is the first time I've made granola. Soooo good! I added coconut and just used almonds. Saving this one!

This recipe is really great and super easy! I looked at a lot of other granola recipes and this one is the only one that you don't have to heat up the sugar components separately (syrup, honey, etc). I ended up adding cinnamon to this recipe and the flavors were great. Not too sweet and you get the natural flavors that granola is supposed to have!

This is by far the best granola I have ever made! I use different dried fruits for variety.

I've made this 3 times. I add raisins and am liberal with the nut & fruit amounts. I have with milk for breakfast. It's wonderful & filling and makes the house smell fantastic. Fun for the kids to help with too.

Excellent. I replace the almond extract with vanilla and add pecans to suppliment the almonds. Great with yoghurt and fresh strawberries.
